The EU Covenant of Mayors Ceremony 2026, taking place on 15 October in Brussels, will put local leadership at the heart of Europe’s climate and energy transition. Under the theme 'Local Leaders for Affordable Energy and Climate Resilience', the event will showcase how cities and regions are responding to energy price volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and growing climate risks through local projects, investment and citizen engagement.

Bringing together mayors, EU policymakers and members of the Covenant community from across Europe, the Ceremony will combine high-level discussions with practical exchange. Alongside contributions from European Commissioners Dan Jørgensen and Wopke Hoekstra, participants can take part in focused workshops, peer-learning sessions and networking opportunities addressing affordable clean energy and climate resilience. 

Interpretation will be available in seven European languages, supporting an inclusive exchange of experiences and solutions.
